Kurt, I had to leave rather hastily the other day, but I did test the patch, and it worked ok. If this is a one-off thing, here is how I did it: # cd /usr/ports/category/program # make clean # ee source.patch (pasted the patch in) # make configure (which preps the source) # cd work/progname # patch < ../../source.patch # cd ../.. # make # make install All worked well.
